MONDAY, APRIL 12: Phil Mickelson became the first person eligible to play in this year's PGA Grand Slam when he won the Masters Tournament yesterday.

He had a three-stroke victory over Lee Westwood at Augusta National Golf Club.

The PGA Grand Slam pits the winners of the four majors - Masters, British Open, U.S. Open and PGA Championship - against each other at Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda.

Premier Dr. Ewart Brown said: "This was a fantastic Masters ... a golfer's dream finish. Phil Mickelson played a wonderful round and deserved to win his third Green Jacket. For Bermuda and the PGA Grand Slam, the outcome could be hugely positive considering Phil's immense popularity. In my meetings with the PGA here in Augusta, they were very upbeat about this year's Grand Slam and I am hopeful that we will negotiate an extension of our agreement."

The 2010 PGA Grand Slam of Golf will return to the Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, October 18-20, where Lucas Glover posted a five-stroke triumph over Angel Cabrera in last year's meeting of major champions.

The PGA Grand Slam of Golf will once again air on TNT, where it is broadcast in prime-time to more than 99 million U.S. homes and an international audience of more than 100 countries. Comprised of the four major championship winners, the 36-hole PGA Grand Slam of Golf provides the best players in the world the opportunity to earn a spot in the most elusive and difficult foursome in all of golf.

Past PGA Grand Slam of Golf Champions include: Glover, Cabrera, Jim Furyk, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Tom Lehman, Ben Crenshaw, Greg Norman, Nick Price and Ian Woosnam.
